Introduction to Alexandre Astier
Alexandre Astier is a French musician, composer, screenwriter, director, and actor best known as the creator of Kaamelott, the critically acclaimed French television series that reimagines Arthurian legend with sharp wit and genuine depth. Born in Lyon in 1974, Astier wrote, directed, and starred in all six books of the show, which ran from 2005 to 2009 before being revived as a feature film in 2021. Beyond his on-screen work, he has composed orchestral scores, performed stand-up shows to arena-sized audiences, and staged theatrical productions — a range of output that places him among the most versatile figures in contemporary French culture. His musical background is formal and serious; he trained as a classical musician and continues to compose prolifically.
The Alexandre Astier watch collection, as far as public sightings allow us to document, points firmly toward vintage horology with genuine technical character. Astier has been photographed wearing a vintage Heuer Silverstone chronograph — a model produced in the early 1970s before the TAG merger, and one of the more sought-after pieces from that era of sports watch design. The example spotted on his wrist features a cushion-shaped stainless steel case, a navy blue dial, and the pre-TAG 'Heuer' script, placing it squarely in the first generation of Silvertones produced around 1974. It is a bracelet-oriented, circuit-racing-inflected watch that sits apart from the more commonly seen Carrera or Monaco from the same period.
Choosing a Heuer Silverstone rather than the safer, more visible references from the same catalogue suggests a collector who researches carefully and gravitates toward pieces with a specific history rather than broad recognition. The Silverstone has a dedicated following among vintage enthusiasts precisely because it rewards that kind of attention — it is not an obvious choice, which may be exactly the point.
Alexandre Astier Spotted Wearing a Vintage Heuer Silverstone Blue Dial Chronograph

The Heuer Silverstone is one of the most architecturally distinctive chronographs of the 1970s — its cushion-square case and bold tachymeter-ringed dial were engineered to evoke the racetrack aesthetic of the era. French actor, director, and musician Alexandre Astier, best known for Kaamelott, was photographed alongside a stunning steel Heuer Silverstone showing a deep blue dial with the original Heuer script logo — a pre-TAG era piece that commands serious collector attention today.
